Chapter 1836 Selling Slowly
In May, people in Shuchuan basically didn't have much interest in doing things, and even the business of restaurants fell a lot.
But after all, the earthquake was too far away from people in other provinces, so after experiencing a short period of sadness and sympathy, everyone's life continued almost unaffected.
Especially those matters related to the national economy and the people's livelihood will not be stopped because of the Sichuan earthquake.
For example, the oil sales plan led by Niu Ruzheng, Cao Zhichong and other petrochemical system bosses.
Huaguo is an extremely oil-poor country. The reason why it is said to be extremely oil-poor is because we use too much oil, so we have to become the world's second largest oil importer—before 2009, the world's largest oil importer. The oil importing country is still Japan.
Therefore, after buying super cheap oil with an average price of 50-60 US dollars a barrel, Boss Bian praised the oil department, let alone Niu Ruzheng.
People in Huaguo pay attention to having food in their hands and not panicking. Now they have oil that can be used in the next two or three years, and it is far lower than the international oil price. Who can be unhappy?
That is to say, Niu Ruzheng knows how to buy this oil, otherwise Cao Zhichong and others will definitely be praised even more. It is absolutely impossible for this oil liquidation plan to succeed only by relying on Cao Zhichong. To be honest, PetroChina has no qualifications to sell so much oil, let alone let Sinopec, CNOOC, China Aviation Oil, and airlines Also sold out together.
So Xiao Qi also contacted Niu Ruzheng and told him his judgment on the oil futures market.
Niu Ruzheng believed in Xiao Qi the most, but it was impossible to change such an important national oil strategy based on Xiao Qi's words. It was not a matter of believing or not, in his position. If things are decided in such a muddle, the harm to the country will be huge.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi was smart enough. He told Niu Ruzheng that the time was the end of February, and he predicted the oil price trend in the next few months.
As a result, in mid-April, Niu Ruzheng called Xiao Qi, and then carefully discussed and planned. Finally, it is decided this time the big short sale of oil plan.
According to Cao Zhichong's gossip, Niu Ruzheng was under great pressure this time. Even Boss Bian, who supported him the most, asked him several times in private whether he was sure.
After all, if you don't sell the oil in your hand, even if the oil plummets, you won't lose much, and you have food in your hands and don't panic. But if the huge amount of oil storage is sold, and the price of oil does not plummet. Even if Niu Ruzheng fell on this, it is very likely that he will never get up again for the rest of his life.
But who is Niu Ruzheng?
What he has decided and set his sights on has never changed.
Since he chose to believe Xiao Qi in the face of factual evidence, Niu Ruzheng would not back down. After reporting to the court, he began to actively plan specific matters.
PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, and CAO together bought 4 billion barrels of oil, and seven or eight oil companies bought a total of 500 million barrels of oil. By the end of April, everyone had almost 4 billion barrels of oil left.
Remove oil that requires normal stockpiling. What can be taken out for operation is 2 billion barrels of oil.
Wanting to sell 2 billion barrels of oil is not pressing an action button. Or it can be done with a phone call, that would be a bit of a joke.
Besides, even if it is so convenient, if you really do that, it is guaranteed that the oil futures market will collapse in one fell swoop, and your oil will not sell much, and you will have bad luck along with it.
To know. If the figure of 2 billion barrels of oil does not impress you, then the total value of 260 billion US dollars will always make you feel terrified, right? quite a few words...
Apart from the top few countries, how many countries have foreign exchange reserves of 260 billion US dollars?
Therefore, the whole process not only needs to be careful, but also takes a lot of time. More importantly, a large number of personnel are needed to operate, so that they can be sold slowly at a normal market price, and a huge profit can be obtained.
Of course, huge profits are only secondary, and the most important thing is to get rid of high-priced oil, so that oil companies have sufficient funds to succeed in bargain hunting at ultra-low prices in the future.
Between selling and buying, the rewards are huge, but the risks are also huge.
Huaguo has several companies that specialize in the trading of these oil futures. If the personnel of major companies are counted, there will be even more sufficient personnel.
Under the level of Niu Ruzheng personally in charge, the professional elites gathered in this big sale list are not only the most reliable, but also the most outstanding professional skills.
In the two months from the beginning of May to the end of June, they will slowly trade the 2 billion barrels of oil held by 15 state-owned companies in Huaguo through more than 3,200 accounts. This task is not only complicated, but also And it is very cumbersome, requiring a lot of patience and a high degree of concentration.
It is now the middle of June, and it is only 20 days before the deadline for Niu Ruzheng and Xiao Qi to discuss.
During this period of time, traders have sold 1.2 billion barrels of oil at an average selling price of about US$125 per barrel, which is not only a lot lower than the original estimate of US$130, but also the estimated number of sales. many.
Calculated according to the time period, about 1.5 billion barrels should be sold now.
The reason for this is that starting in the middle of May, some people have slowly followed behind to dump orders.
After a careful investigation, the intelligence department found that the person who followed him to dump the bill was actually a Korean.
South Korea is the world's fourth largest oil importer, and its dependence on oil is even more severe than that of China-there is no drop of oil in South Korea's territory, at least on land.
South Korea also bought a lot of oil some time ago, but according to their practice, no matter how high or low the price of this oil is, it is impossible to take it out.
But the fact now is that the Koreans also thought of selling oil. Could it be that they also predicted that the price of oil would come to an end?
But today's mainstream media in the world are still bragging about Goldman Sachs' statement that "the price of oil will break through 200 by the end of the year, and break through 250 US dollars a barrel next year"!
Niu Ruzheng didn't expect that Xiao Qi played the role, and he couldn't go to the Koreans to verify this matter, so he could only think that the Koreans rushed up by mistake.
Because of joining the Koreans, the quantity and price of Huaguo can't meet the expectations, and they don't even dare to make a statement. They can only reach a tacit cooperation when trading on the market—— Hello, me, everyone. If there is a confrontation, both sides will fail. No one wants to joke with tens of billions of dollars!
Xiao Qi didn't dare to say anything at this time.
He only now realizes that old and cunning people like Li Jianxi must have known the news of Huaguo's early selling through some channels, so Xiao Qi originally asked them to sell oil in June, but they started to operate at the end of May.
Colliding together half a month in advance, there will naturally be the current result.
According to Huaguo's statistics, several South Korean companies jointly sold more than 500 million barrels of oil, at a price similar to that of Huaguo.
However, what makes Xiao Qi feel strange is that even if the oil sold increases by 500 million barrels, the price of the oil market does not fluctuate much. The current price is about 136 US dollars, which is similar to the original history.
After so many sell-offs, it can still stay at such a high position, this oil price must not be normal!
No matter in the past or present, Xiao Qi has thought about the abnormal rise of oil this time.
The most reasonable explanation is that the major oil and financial giants want to raise the price of oil, and then wait for fools to take over, sell at high prices to make money and leave.
What I didn't expect was that although the U.S. government is often scolded as "stupid than pigs", this time, in order to save the entire U.S. economy, it staged a good show with the Federal Reserve, directly killing these financial giants. The crocodile was served in one pot, which directly caused the price of oil to plummet all the way, and finally dropped to freezing point.
There is a very important time point here, that is when the price of oil rises to 147 US dollars.
This price has exceeded the tolerance of the US government, so it will be ruthless!
According to the memory of the previous life, the time when this price is reached is the most important, whether it is mid-July or not is not important at all.
Therefore, Xiao Qi gave Niu Ruzheng a price he predicted - 145 US dollars.
Once there is a trend to reach this price, then it must be sold violently.
In fact, if the price is 140 US dollars, you have to speed up the selling speed, lower the oil price, and let yourself run more.
I want to come to the international financial speculators to think, since they have been speculated to this point, there is no need to be suppressed like this, so it will still be stiff around 140.
Of course, this is not all their own funds. Financial speculators only need to invest some funds to create a positive upward trend in oil prices. When a general trend is formed, there will naturally be idle funds to follow as cannon fodder.
Funds in the entire oil futures market are basically between 8 and 12 trillion U.S. dollars. How many big crocodiles and how many small and medium investors are lurking in it is something that is uncertain!
It is simply impossible to count such smart people all the time.
So I missed this transaction, and it is basically impossible for Xiao Qi to come and gamble with them next time. The most is to seize the bottom price of more than 30 US dollars in the future and let PetroChina buy more. It is already Xiao Qi for the country. do the limit.
If you want to buy low and sell high again, you have to get high blood pressure out!
